Are you using a Mac or a PC? —Alorael, who has heard that MS Paint is a good choice for the PC side, while most Mac computers bought within the last five or so years came with Clarisworks/Appleworks, which has a decent paint program. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I used MSpaint for all my graphics on TM's graphics page. It works for me, and best of all it doesn't crash (much). -------------------- PhoenixNinjas! Ninja-Moderation! What we need is Urban Wisdom! Vote Wise Man! Posts: 1277 | Registered: Monday, June 24 2002 07:00 |

MS Paint crashes? I use clarisworks. It has a decent paint program, with all the basic features, though it doesn't have any particularly advanced features. I make all my graphics using this. -------------------- Fnord. (Insert your name here) is a capitalist pigdog. Deus Ex Penguin: God out of the Penguin......Cogito Eggo Sum: I think, waffle I am.

I like Graphic Converter.

There is a new version of PhotoShop out called PhotoShop Elements that contains the main features of PhotoShop, but lacks the "power" tools. It's a fraction of the cost of PhotoShop - might be worth checking out. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Another great graphics program is Paint Shop Pro. It has a lot of features and you can get the trial version for free. -------------------- Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone Posts: 595 | Registered: Tuesday, March 12 2002 08:00 |

Drakey: I still prefer Photoshop, but then again, I got mine for free (and I didn't piraet, either). Paint Shop Pro... Couldn't say, I use a Mac. All I know is that Clarisworks is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad news. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

What's so bad about Claris? It's not got alot of bells and whistles, true, but it's not BAD. It's a decent program, and I still prefer it to MS paint. -------------------- Fnord.

Yeah yeah, it is old. I'm switching to Appleworks once I start using my new iBook, which I will do as soon as I hook it up to the internet (one of these days), and I also plan to try photoshop elements and GIMP.

I guess this is sort of on-topic. Most of the bitmaps in the DATA folder for A3 give me an error message when I try to open them. Something to the effect that the file data cannot be parsed. Any ideas what I can do about this?

I've had similar comments with Tiff files and adobe. I'm not really sure what it means (I'm assuming it's a problem with Adobe), but try opening the files with MS Paint. You shouldn't have any problems with that, hopefully. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

For the Elements one, maybe. Photoshop 7 is closer to $600. Posts: 319 | Registered: Monday, September 30 2002 07:00 |

Educational institutions can receive discounts from Adobe. If you're a student, you may also be eligible for a discount, although I'm not sure how you would go about getting one. Posts: 319 | Registered: Monday, September 30 2002 07:00 |

That's an awful screenname. Other than that, it's perfectly easy to find free educational versions lying about. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Do Not Use AppleWorks For Graphics! It does strange things that'll distort whatever your working on. Use Graphic Converter instead. Much more powerful, full-featured unregestered (it'll subject you to an up to 30 second soujourn in the 'regester' dialog box though). -------------------- Ogre - Mindes. Don't ask.
